"Many people are angels to me... I trust in the treasure and the special quality that each person carries within themselves. When we perceive each other as angels - openly, mindfully and appreciatively - this opens up the possibility for all of us to shape the world positively."

The sand in the hourglass reminds me of the sea – of beautiful memories, peace, and freedom. At the same time, it reminds me how precious time is: time for my family and time I can give my children to discover, learn, and grow at their own pace.

I chose this picture because it describes me a little bit. The blue vase has a calming effect, while the yellow tulips look cheerful and vibrant. I think these colors go well together. They show that I can be calm, but also cheerful and positive.

My iPhone camera goes with me everywhere: I use it to capture special moments in nature that others might overlook. The rose quartz reminds me to meet life with an open heart. Both stand for what defines me: looking closely, feeling deeply, and discovering beauty in the everyday.
